Coos Bay, Oregon in 1915 on Central Ave. looking west from 1st

From ""Oregon Main Street: A Rephotographic Study"" by James Norman, page 64. Central Avenue looking west from 1st, Marshfield (Coos Bay), Oregon, circa 1915. The Chandler Hotel (1906) is in the background right of center. This modern, fireproof accommodation succeeded the wood-frame Rogers House, shown on the corner, as the city's prime hostelry. The Rogers House was razed after the 1922 Front Street fire and was replaced with the Hub building seen in NOMS40. The garlands, banners and flags help to identify the celebration depicted here as a patriotic one, either the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or, most likely, what was then known as Armistice Day.
